Diddy Ad Censored.. And Bad Boy additions

A recent ad for Estee Lauder fragrance "Unforgivable" featured Sean "Diddy" Combs with two scantily clad women has been pulled, after being called too racy for department stores.

The ad featured the hip-hop/fashion mogul in bed with two females, in a situation that implied a threesome. Estee Lauder ad was thought to be inappropriate for family department stores, and has been replaced with another, featuring Diddy and a single model.

John Demsey, global president of Estee Lauder, says, "It is unfortunate that some people were so uncomfortable with something with that much sexual presence." Billboard ads that featured the original three will remain unchanged.

Unforgivable by Estee Lauder is available with 2.5-ounce bottle, found only at Saks Inc.'s Saks Fifth Avenue, sells for $300. A less expensive version will be in 1,800 department stores starting on Feb. 15.

Bad Boy addition,
Elephant Man recently told the UK's BBC, he's officially part of Bad Boy also, “The album title's Ova Di Wall. Nuttin' nah change, the only difference is that it's on Bad Boy." And related news, it has been rumored Killer Mike, of Outkast, will be joining Bad Boy records.
